Developing Communication Skills

This week’s Tool helps students who are preparing for college understand that communication involves not only what they say, but how they say it, to whom, and when.

Colleges expect students to handle all aspects of their lives on campus without assistance from their parents. Students need to be prepared to speak for themselves on a variety of fronts. Parents and teachers can use this Tool to help support students practice effective communication skills.

While these tips are helpful for older students getting ready to transition to college, I believe that they can also help with our younger students. Since deficits in communication is common among students with disabilities, we need to use those teachable moments throughout the students academic career to help them communicate with others effectively. If we begin to use these tips early on, we can help make transitioning even easier as the student moves to the next stage after high school, whatever that may be.
